Takeaway: We held a call with Jonathan Maze, the Editor-in-Chief of Restaurant Business Magazine.

Over the past few years, we have held several calls with Jonathon, and his views on the industry are always enlightening. 

As Editor-in-Chief of Restaurant Business, Mr. Maze sits on the front line of everything restaurant and has some of the best contacts across the industry.  A testimony to his knowledge of the industry and all things restaurant, the National Operators Association (the McDonald’s franchise organization) has selected Mr. Maze to be a guest speaker at their next meeting.
